Tho lace was made by Gerda Volontiner'o mother for Gerda's wedding dress. Gerda taught in Ihe public schools in Copenhagen and during World War II her group managed to send 7,200 lews to Sweden and safety. After the war, she spent several years in Austria helping Co rehabilitate concentration camp survivors. Every year since, she has been invited to spend her winters in Israel. Gerda never married.

Nor was it clear whether Hussein's recent consultations with PLO chief Yasir Arafat resulted in a mandate, direct or implicit, for Jordan to represent Palestinian interests in peace talks with Israel.

Until now, the King has spurned tho Camp David peace process. He still considers himself bound by the J974 Arab League summit conference in Rabat, Morocco, which designated the I'IJO to be the

sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The Arab League summit in Fez, Morocco, last September did not rescind that decision.

Jewish Pr»M >o

Apply liberally prn One does not have to be a psychiatrist to understand the legitimate paranoia of Israel's people. Since the establishment of the Jewish State in 1948, her people have had to withstand wars, terrorism, isolation, threats and pressure. The weird part of this mix is that threats and pressure have not only come from her enemies, but her friends as well. The United States and even the American Jewish community have contributed to Israel's confusion and problems by sending mixed signals during periods of crisis. Now, there is another crisis of sorts and American Jewry has the opportunity to help. The tourist business in Israel, a major industry in that land, is down sharply after many years of steady growth. - Worldwide recession, anti-Israel propaganda, and the drumbeat of hate in the United Nations have taken their toll. Tourists arc avoiding Israel, worsening her economy and deepening her balance of payments deficit. Obviously, a sharp increase in the flow of United States tourists will help Israel's economy. But, there is an additional benefit. This is a time for American Jews to help bolster the morale of Israelis at a time of great travail. American Jews, regardless of their views about policies of the government of Israel, now need to demonstrate their solidarity with the people of Israel. At a time when American Jewry is coming under fire for lack of all-out mobilization during the Holocaust, let us not forsake our responsibilities. We need to start preparing an extraordinary campaign to encourage travel to Israel. Synagogues, organizations, and Federations should make this a top priority for 1983. : And now thai El Al, the airline of Israel, has announced plans to resume service, it would be only fitting for those planning trips to include El Al in their plans. A visit to Israel will give the traveler personal contact with the land and her people — providing an appreciation of the dedication of Israelis to the goals of social progress, democracy and peace. Travel to Israel is a prescription to cure paranoia — theirs and our own. Morris Malinc

moyshe kapoyr An Egyptian newspaper claims that Syria actually wanted to get rid of obsolete planes so they let the Israelis shoot them down during the first days of the war in Lebanon. Why? Because of the deal by which the oil-rich Arab countries agreed to pay for every downed airplane without reference to its age or combat efficiency. Thus, the Syrians profited from tho planes that were downed. / Do yoii remember the old time radio program. Can You Top This, in which a group of comedians tried to outdo each other?

Arab workers entitled to humane treatment

III. Employ them, as required, and provide decent temporary housing in whirJuhcy can be accommodated until the weekends, when they go home. Such housing should have proper sanitary facilities, hot water, adequate provision for recreation and sport. The men should be treated the wuy employees in Israel should be treated, whether lew or Arab.

What is the reaction to these alternative courses of action? The opponents of the first scenario emphasize not only the needs of Israel's economy, but also the humanitarian aspect. These Arabs ore breadwinners for their own families. Thrown out of work, or denied opportunities to work in Israel, they and their families will face lives of destitution. Gone ore the days when, as scrub farmers, they could eke a living out of Ihe stony soil. Conditions have changed. Furthermore, and this should be a matter of deep concern to Israel, a hun[jry, unemployed population is an ideal breeding ground for haired and frustration, leading these people into the ranks of the terrorists and constant riots and bloodshed. The second scenario is substantially what l« now being done with most of ihe worker*. Here and there employers ovoid the long daily trips by housing tho workers in shacks, in windowlcss attics, or hiding them elsewhere, so as not to be caught violating the regulations. The living conditions provided under these circumstances are substandard. Tho third scenario is what enlightened farmers and industrialists now propose, and the Israel government lends to approve. Two moshavim have already set up well-furnished, well-ventilated and illuminated buildings to give their Arab workers a feeling of comfort during their offhours. Some idealists and do-gooders and professional objectors to everything done under the Begin government, have raised mighty objection. They compare these facilities to tho labor camps established for the blacks outside South Africa's big cities, and demand that they be dismantled at once. The reference to South Africa, of course, seeks to label Israel's humane provisions in terms of discrimination and apartheid. Hie debate continues. In Ihe meantime, the oranges arc being picked, the services arc available in tho hotels, and Israel's vast construction industry proceeds with the building of inuch-neodod homes. Tens of thousands of West Hank and Gaza Arabs are gainfully employed, and have every reason not lo wish PLO terrorism to continue. With good reason Arafat has sought to stop this mutually beneficial relationship, but the working Arabs have refused to be intimidated. It is to be hoped that Israeli Jews, impelled cither by utopton naivete or by internal political animosities, will not do anything which will stimulate antagonism and violence. .

HAIFA — The subject of larfle scale employment in Israel of Arabs from Judca and Samaria is again on the agenda here. It will be recalled that some 80,000 Arabs from ihe so-called occupied territories cross the border, most of them with official permission, and nil jobs in various occupations. They ore a majority of the workers in the construction industry; they fill a vital function in picking the citrus fruit for market; they are the chief cadres of service personnel in Israel's hotels. Without them, much of the economic activity would grind to a deadly slowdown. They don't take jobs away from any Israeli, because there Is very little unemployment here and most Israelis refuse to do the work performed by the Arabs. The dispute over Arab employment continues nevertheless. Let us set up three different scenarios, and then review the reaction here to each. It should be noted that each of these three alternatives has advocates. I. Fire them all, and ban any further employment of West Bank and Gaza Arabs. The State of Israel should be built on tho principle of self-labor, and it is unfitting that we should become a nation of "exploiters". Furthermore, by permitting so much of our economy to depend on this "imported" labor we arc giving lite Arabs a weapon with which they could undermine daily life here, simply by calling a prolonged strike. We should hire Jews only. II. Employ Arabs from across Ihe "green line" to the extent that their labor is required for our economy, but do not permit them to spend their nights here. They could become a fifth column, and what begins with temporary housing could develop into permanent squatting. Prolonged stays in Israel, after working hours, could lead on the one hand, lo fraternizing with Jewish girls, and on the other hand, to violent confrontations with Jews. 11 wire, each day they should be trucked or bused back to their own homes and families — in some cases 50 or 60 miles each way. It would be costly and time-consuming, but best for all concerned.

ORT conference One might think that a mikvah is simply a pool of water in which a Jewish woman immerses herself to attain spiritual cleanliness. Surprisingly, this definition is only partly correct. The mikvah, as this writer discovered a few days ago, is not at all "simple". This conclusion came about when it was brought to my attention that a rabbi from Chicago was coming to the KOHC Blumkin Home to check on the progress of the mikvah installation. The new mikvah, when ready, will replace the one thai the community has provided and still provides at the Dr. Philip Slier Home. When I heard that an out-of-town rabbi was coming to inspect, I asked Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, of Beth Israel Synagogue why it was necessary. He quickly directed some analogies toward me nnd the one I liked best was "You don't call upon your family doctor to perform heart bypass surgery." He then proceeded to introduce me to Rabbi Ashcr Well of Tclshe Yeshiva, of Chicago, and invited me to join the group on the inspection. Now, I've seen white glove inspections in the military, but the military manual doesn't begin to compare with the requirements of halakhah (Jewish law). . Rabbi Weil, accompanied by construction company engineers nnd skilled plumbers, engaged in a dialogue that not only was dramatic, but inspirational. Some 650 gallons of water at 100 degrees had to Ixs circulated until use Then it must be stopped. Rain water from a collection point on the roof must travel down a vertical pipe to validate the city water. The rabbi questioned the engineers asking what one might consider to bo technical, engineering details: capacity of pump, lime it takes to empty the pool, diameter of hose, smoothness of plastic pipe, etc. At each point of agreement, Rabbi Weil went back to the beginning of the discussion and reiterated what they had just gone over â&#x20AC;&#x201D; "so that there should be no misunderstanding.".

(continued from pane 1) provides a large portion of Israeli students in the 14-18year-old afje bracket with modern technological knowledge. All the? eleventh grade students at the ORT comprehensive vocational/technical schools receive a general education which includes training on computers that touches every area of their schooling. ORT teachers believe thill computer literacy is going to be us important for the: (lenenilion now in school as the basic three R's have been in the past. In its SCIKXII of enfjineerino,, located on the Hebrew University campus, the educational level is highly sophislicatwl. Students enter there either immediately after completing their army service, or by special arrangement with the urmy prior to doing their military service, with llie understanding that the troiniiifj they receive will make them more valuable recruits for the system. The programs there includes computer enfjineerino, computer progruminiiicj, hif|li-level electronics, telecommunications, modern control systems; and courses in advanced industrial, nucleuir and mediciil instrumentation techTlif.'cosi of iiiiiintiiiiiing systems for leaching up-to-date l<!chnolej(iv is high, but the results show that tlu>.y ate well worth it. Many thousands of ORT graduates use their technical iraininn in their service in Israel's defense forces and many more thousands work at productive jobs in all lacets of the economy. This attests to the importance of OltT's role as .1 mainstay of Israel's national slreniilh.

Rabbi Aaher Weil explains that plastic pipe with ridges that can store water is not acceptable for use in a mikvah. My impression was that the engineers were impressed. Although many of the points appeared trivial from an engineering assessment, they respected the requirements of halakhah and oriented their expertise toward satisfying Rabbi Weil's expectations. Upon leaving the group, I looked at Rabbi Nadoff and he said, "Now, you understand?" Well, understanding Is raiher a complex word. Nothing seems simple arVymore.

Quality training Attesting to the quality of ORT training is also the fact that Hie; U.S. siovornmeni and governmental bodies of other countries ure using ORT for their technical assistance prouriiiiis in underdeveloped countries. The American government hatt'bmm concluding c o m r a m for years to this effect with the ORT offices in Now York. ORT is now implementing 30 development projects in IV developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and tile Pacific. They Include technical skills training, rehabilitation and maintenance of transportation systems, ami development of mining, Industry, agricultural mid rural Infrastructure/and urban infrastructure. Funds are provided by 1 he U.S. Agency for International Development, the World Bank, \ho host countries themselves and government aid agencies of Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, West Germany, Denmark and Sweden. Ml of'them have long recognized ORT as ihe most experienced practitioner in the sphere of emerging nations.

To help the Jewish Arjeucy maintain humanitarian and social welfare programs, the American Jewish community is beintj asked to contribute $970 million, or two-thirds of tin: S34!i million needed. The needs are projected in round lifjurcs as follows: •Higher education $75 million 'Social programs 46 million "Mutation 45 million •Voutii care and training 45 million •Immigrant absorption 6 million 'Rural willlcincni 4 million TOTAL S22O million Seventy-five percent of the Special Fund will be used for programs that help children and young people. However, tile Agency has undertaken to operate on an emergency basis only programs for which it receives sufficient funds and which fit into its present administrative structuro. The largest single projection is $76 million for higher education. Add to that $45 million for general education and it comes to $120 million, or more than half of the Special Fund. There is a simple explanation for this. By law, elementary and htflh school education have always been the

More than half ot the money contributed to the Israel Special Fund, $120 million, will be spent on education from preschool to college. Israeli government's responsibility. But in past years, aB part of its efforts to close the social gap, the Jewish Agency could and did support preschool education, institutions of higher learning and informal and remedial education. When it had to retrench, the Agency's grants for higher education focused on such programs as encouraging the absorption of immigrant professors and students and providing scholarship help to dlsadvantagcd young people.

But now onco again it has been called on to contribute to the universities' basic maintenance. Included in the $45 million projected for education ' needs arc an allocation of $22 million for pre-kindergartcn tuition aid to some 67,000 children aged 2 to 4 whose families cannot afford tho full fees; $11,000,000 to support special vocational classes operated by ORT and other organizations and $4 million toward tho operation of 120 youth cultural and sport centers offering activities for disadvantaged youth. A high proportion of the grants under Social Programs, projected at $46 million, would be directed toward community care of children and rent subsidies to needy families and family care. Less than half would go for other welfare services — rehabilitation projects for tho. handicapped and support for sheltered workshops and homes for the aged. According to UJA officials, the responsibility the Jewish Agency has undertaken under the Special Fund is to assure that programs and services for children and youth will bo maintained.

Pacesetter establishes UNO scholarships By David Bittner The Pacesetter Corporation has established a scholarship fund to aid UN-O underclassmen who have displayed outstandi ny leadership abilities. Pacesetter board chairman Phil Schrager said I hi; idea for the fund originated when Is Tretiak asked him to chair a committee of local business people to create such a program. "Hy the time I met to discuss the matter with (UNO Chancellor) IVI Weber and (Vice-chancellor) Richard Hoover," said Mr. Schrager, "f was ready to sujflK'Sl that our company would like to fund an enlire program to be called the Pacesetter Corporation Scholarship fund." Mr. Schrager said that the Pacesetter I'und would differ from traditional scholarship programs in that its key eligibility requirement would not be fi-

nancial need, but demonstration of leadership potential. "Nerd is only one of our requirements," said Mr. Schrager. "Too many younrj people in Omaha with leadership potential are leaving town to go to college and find jobs in other aims. We want to encourage them to stay in the community by offering to finance their education here at UN-O." Mr. .Schrager said that the selection of scholarship recipients would be based on nomination by bijjh school principal!! and inten iews by a committee made up of two Part-setter representatives, lhri-»: UN0 laculty memlM'rb, a financial aid ollicer from UN-O and two hiyh school principals. He Mid students would also be evaluated on the basis of their (grade point averages and scores on such tests as the SAT's and

ACTS. Though the scholarships of S'/f»O a year will be awarded only n> freshmen, and Miphomoies who must requahfy for the program after their freshman year, Mr. Schracjer said upperclassmen will illso be eligible for about a down internship positions in such diverse parts of Iho Pacesetter Corporation as advertising, accounting, and tan work, lie said summer jolts at Pacesetter would also IN- available to Mime students. Mr. Schrager said another hallmark'of the program would be one of "per"We don't want to just throw money at a kid the way routine scholarships do," he said. "Wu want to show the student that we lake :t real interest in him. have him visit the plant and have lunch with us and get to know us."
